    You've got three on order?! Sorry but my sympathy just ran out

    When I went on the factory tour in May this year, we were shown that all Landrover models from RRS to LRD go through the same paint processes on the same line. They were also coming off the line in all different colours at once, certainly not in batches of lots of cars... It was a bit like a coffee/tea machine at the airport, able to make all different types of hot drink one after the other!
    Ah.. They're using that system now Wonder how long they've been using that.

    Thats a great set up.. Interestingly, if you go to a panel shop you'll find that for each vehicle colour there are usually multiple codes...
    This is because the pigment in several manufacturers who paint like that gets just a little from the last colour - A Suzuki colour for example offers 4 versions - complete, red, blue, yellow - all for a Grey shade!!!

    I wonder if they are just trying to keep the Keswick a little exclusive / control its numbers

    I was in the dealers recently looking at a Rangie for the Missus. The sales person told us that they had just sold a Defender to a 12 year old boy. It is to be kept in Moth Balls until he has a Licence.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    They were using it on the RR line when I went there in 2004. From what I gathered at the time the L322 was a bit of a revolution for their processes.

    They were certainly very proud of it at the time, but wouldn't let us anywhere near the Disco2 or Defender lines. They seemed quite embarassed about the Defender line, a bit different to now.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Given 12 year-olds don't have legal capacity to sign contracts, I'm guessing there was some parental involvement too. That'll be a very cool thing for that kid to look forward to though

    Little twerp, i dont like him already
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Clancy's gone to Queensland Rovering, and we don't know where he are

    I was talking to a chap the other day, he's, got 3 special editions.

    Another chap said his new Heritage was going in the aircraft hanger for a few years then selling it on to make a profit. ( cant see that happening )

    So, this time next year, when all this is "over & done", what Defenders will be in your "corral", and what will their build/options have been?
    Pickles.
    I'm not surprised you're confused! Others get lost with what I do with my cars. In fact, the more confusing it is, the better it is so my wife has no idea what she is complaining about
    With the hope that my wife will not read this, I have the following 90's either with me or ordered..
    1) 90 Adventure, Phoenix Orange, with sun hatch, cold climate pack and side runners, dark tinted windows - driving this now and thoroughly enjoying it!
    2) 90, Corris Grey, Black Pack, Black side runners, Red full leather pack, sun hatch, cold climate pack, dark tinted windows - confirmed to be produced in 12/15 and delivered Feb or March 2016
    3) 90, Keswick Green, brown full leather pack, cold climate pack, sun hatch, white roof, white steel wheels ... was to be built Dec 15 and delivered Feb/March 16 as a MY16. This is the order that cannot be delivered.
    So, I am hoping I can get a car with a similar build as (3) above ... Clear as mud?
